Teacher Training

Give an overview of the National Career Cluster to your teacher

Print out the Clusters Grids related to state approved program CIP Codes that your agency offers

Review the Career Cluster Grid directions that are provided on the web site with your teachers

Teacher Training Option #1

• Have all the classroom teachers complete the levels on the grids for the program/courses that they teach

• Any programs with multiple teachers and/or courses should have the teachers meet and determine the mastery level for the program

Teacher TrainingOption #2

• Have the teachers meet and determine the mastery level for each career cluster performance element within the approved program

• Then have the teacher determine in which course/program the performance element will be taught

Teacher Documentation

• The educational agency must keep on file, all resources used to document the mastery level determination of the performance elements for their approved programs
